She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Having secured Jinrong’s promise on the price, planning the rail transport became much simpler for Ye Xinyan, resulting in a relatively detailed project proposal akin to a feasibility study report. It only involved more specific steps and details.

She had done this before, and not just once.

Ye Xinyan nodded, "Sixth Master, I understand your intention. I will go back and write down everything that needs attention. I don’t understand how the court engineering department arranges the construction, so I can only put together the overall structure of the rail transport. As for the labor cost, Sixth Master, you can decide on the pricing after reviewing the work," Ye Xinyan said.

It was good enough that the Great Aunt promised to take on the task; the specifics of how it was done or what the outcome looked like were flexible. Moreover, based on her past behavior, she always tried her best to fulfill her promises and was never one to do things half-heartedly.

So Jinrong replied very readily, "Alright, Ye Zi, start with the work, and if you have any doubts in the meantime, we can discuss them together. Do you have enough staff? If not, I can transfer some people from the Imperial Workshops Bureau to your Qi Family Construction Business. You don’t have to worry about their identities; I’ll have them work permanently for the Qi family, just as your craftsmen, with no other involvement."

Ye Xinyan raised an eyebrow and looked at Jinrong, sneering, "Sixth Master is quite shrewd. I won’t need the people, thank you. It’s best for my Qi family to stay away from your men." Permanently placing your people in the Qi Family Construction Business, would it still belong to the Qi family?

Jinrong smiled awkwardly, "We’ll do as Ye Zi says. Just let me know whenever you change your mind."

"Let’s leave it at that, I have many matters to attend to and must be going now," Ye Xinyan stood up.
